ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

RAF Brize Norton 04/07/2012

Post by Wim »

After Coningsby, we went to Brize Norton on Tuesday 3/07/2012. Weather was bad and almost nothing to be seen. A lot of VC-10's and Tristars on the platforms... On Wednesday after Fairford arrivals, we went back to Brize Norton in the hope to see some VC-10 or Tristar action, but again nothing... Although the first RAF Voyager was performing touch and go's and we saw the recovery of some RAF Hercules

And some Voyager pictures:

Great to see the airflow over the wings due to the reflection of the water on the fuselage

On its last landing, the sun was starting to appear again...

I hope you like them

Beautiful shots, showing the weather does not necessarily have to be 100% to take stunning pictures! Especially that second Hercules shot... it's almost like it has eyes in the radome (starting to resemble a koala...) :shock: :worship: :respect:

"Boris" would be proud! Great weather shots, love it. Much more spectacular than these boring sunny side-on shots.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was not that pleasant to make the pictures in the rain, but they turned out not too bad. The Voyager was indeed ZZ330
